House Bill (HB) 22 (85th Texas Legislature, 2017) requires the agency to release a report showing the ratings that each campus would have received for the 2017–18 school year if the A–F rating system had been in place for campuses. A PDF of the report was released to the Texas Legislature on Friday, December 28, 2018. The report has been updated to include results of an appeals process that provided districts and charters an opportunity to contest preliminary ratings announced in August. The updated report is available here:2017–18 A–F Ratings for Campuses.
